At the top of the News for Friday September 4, 2009:
Get
GREEN! -
No cash, no gas, no junkers, no clunkers! Just a straight forward Mean Monkie
Machine for a Friday filled with green in its theme (and maybe a bunch
of other colors like black and white).
New Desktop/Wallpaper -
Ah yes, a "Brand New" Wallpaper is waiting for you down in NEW
GOO!
Community
News - After
quite some time hearing from Live Pencil, we've got the latest on this great
outlet of GUI goodness found in Community News.
Bananas -
The best way to wrap up the week is with a handful of green Bananas
to brighten up your week worn face.
Anything more? Nope. But that begs a whole new question
(or is that question[s]): Is there anybody out there? Did a tree ever fall
in the forest? Has this perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum
dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520–570
nanometres yet grabbed your attentiveness? Any clue as to the meaning of
this moment? Keep on scrolling and let the good times keep rolling or you
may be trolling in the woods by your lonesome...

New Desktop -
Flipping back through the pages of digital imagery from Mr. Monkie Bradford
Wiles' massive moments of Nature captured in time, we move the clock back
to recollect an original pic found in the prequel to the unsynchronized sequel.
Say what?!!
Nature - Alrighty
then! Did the aforementioned information tie your  brain in
knots? Sounds like the mind of the Monkie himself! But with none of the
above mind mentioned in mind, keep in mind that this week's entry into
the Gallery is the original to a previous picture plotted
on these pages. Sporting nearly the same name, Smith
Creek I gives us a clearer view of the painted canvas found
in Smith Creek II ("Painted"). The mountains
of green behind the big sky blue scene really comes alive in this digital
field of dreams...Enjoy!
Thanks Department --
To all of you...
For taking the time to stop by for a view!
THANK YOU!

Live
Pencil Update -
After years of time, work and an
enormous amount love spent on some of the most amazing magical graphic craftsmanship
on the web, Ramon Gonzalez Teja has announced that Live
Pencil is now absolutely
free!
 Keep
in mind however, that his site of 9 years - containing Animated Emoticons,
Website Animations, e-mail Animations, Desktop Icons, Wallpapers, Clipart,
Animated Photos and more - MUST
be kept ALIVE! This kind of work takes a great deal of time and bucks
to support and maintain such a massive collection of web-base GUI goodness.
What can you do? The answer is simple. You can toss a few
coins in the Donation Bucket to assist with the incredible cost of keeping
this class act out and about the World Wide Web. What are you waiting for?
Grab some great graphics and give back all in one swish...GO!

Golf Prayer
A young man is playing golf with a priest. At a short hole
the priest asks, "What are you going to use on this hole son?"
The young man says, "An eight iron, father. How about you?"
The priest says, "I'm going to hit a soft seven and pray."
The young man hits his eight iron and puts the ball on the green. The priest
tops his 7 iron and dribbles the ball out a few yards.
The young man says, "I don't know about you father, but in my church
when we pray, we keep our head down."
Quit Winning
If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool
came up with, "Quit while you're ahead?"
Go Figure
Q: How many Cardassians does it take to change a light bulb?
A:
Four...One to change the light bulb, and one to shoot him and take the
credit, two more for disposing the body out an airlock, and 100 credits each
to hire them.
Poor Mama
Your momma is so poor...
She eats cereal with a fork to save milk.
Faithful Cat
Once upon a time, a woman had a faithful cat. And one day,
a guy ran over the cat with his horse drawn carriage. So, the man went to
the old woman and said, "I'm terribly sorry about your cat. I'd like
to replace him."
"That so nice of you!" said the old woman, deeply touched.
"So how good are you at catching mice?"

Odds and Ends
Gas For Clinkers - Gas
mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. You can assume
that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.24
per gallon for gas.
Barbie Bucks - Barbie dolls
are considered anti-Islamic and importing them to Iran is prohibited. However,
dozens of shops in Tehran in the late 1990s displayed original all-American
Barbie dolls, some wearing only a swimsuit. A three-foot-tall Barbie bride
model was selling for as much as $700 in a country where the average monthly
salary was $100.
Button For Anything - Push this button

Mindless -
What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very
wasteful. How true that is.
- Dan Quayle
Parting Shot - You know the
one thing that's wrong with this country? Everyone gets a chance to have
their fair say.

Run Chicken Run
Juan was driving down a country lane in his pickup when
suddenly a chicken darted into the road in front of him. He slammed on his
brakes, but realized that the chicken was speeding off down the road at about
30 miles an hour. Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck,
but he couldn't catch up to the accelerating chicken. Seeing it turn into
a small farm, Juan followed it. To his astonishment, he realized that the
chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL
of the chickens had three legs.
The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said, "Three-legged chickens?
That's astonishing!"
The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred 'em that way because I love drumsticks."
Juan was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?"
The farmer smiled. "Dunno. Haven't been able to catch one yet."
Now What?
A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation
was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking
the doctor for free medical advice.
After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What
do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out
of the office?"
"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send
them a bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day, still
feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills. When he went to place
them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.
Buy A Mac
I was just having a conversation with someone who is about to buy a Mac.
I was against it and an argument started. I said there were too few people
supporting the Mac.
He responded, "When was the last time you heard of a virus on a Mac?"
And I said "See,
even people who write viruses don't support Macs."
Vow Of Silence
At a remote monastery deep in the woods, the monks followed
a rigid vow of silence. This vow could only be broken once a year on Christmas,
by one monk, and the monk could speak only one sentence.
One Christmas, Brother Thomas had his turn to speak and said, "I love
the delightful mashed potatoes we have every year with the Christmas roast!" Then
he sat down. Silence ensued for 365 days.
The next Christmas, Brother Michael got his turn, and said, "I think
the mashed potatoes are lumpy and I truly despise them!" Once again,
silence ensued for 365 days.
The following Christmas, Brother Paul rose and said, "I am fed up with
this constant bickering!"
To Know You
Mary moaned to her mom and brother, "Nobody loves
me...the whole world hates me!"
Her brother, busily occupied playing a game, hardly looked up at her and
passed on this encouraging word: "That's not true, Mary. Some people
don't even know you.
